Lorena defensive tackle Jackson Blackwell will visit Texas next weekend when the Longhorns play host to Colorado State. The 6-foot-3, 305-pound defender is currently committed to Baylor, but holds multiple P4 offers. 

Last season Blackwell posted 56 tackles, including ten for a loss, and 2.5 sacks.

He squared 720 POUNDS 😮😮😮

He's a bull.  We've recruited guys in the past with FAR LESS potential who turned out great for us.

Not this crap again.

@Gerry Hamilton, it’s pronounced “LOW-reena”.

@Blake Munroe, you gotta be the enforcer!

I’ve always heard more people pronounce it like Luhhrena

I think he’s a take with roster size increasing you stash him away for a few years he ll be a solid player 

There we go, was waiting on this update. Lets see if Texas extends an offer.

Texas needs to continually evaluate and go after all good prospects.  No matter what star ranking they have.

The best IDL at Texas in the past 10 years were 3 stars. IDL can be developed more than any other position, because it's really about short radius bursts, bend, and hand placement.

I play him week 1 this year

Thoughts on how our oline will hold up against him in a week and a half?

He’s definitely got potential. Very powerful and quick

6-2.25 and 305’ish … enough arm length
